I am working on the Promise API and Tim Ward is working on the Async API. Tim has the overall "pen" on the RFC.
I have just recently released some changes to the Promise API and am investigating some other improvements. Tim needs to refresh the RFC doc to pick up my Promise changes. With respect to the Promise API and Java 1.4 compatibility, we are using generics in the API but they can be elided by -target jsr14 using a compiler that supports that. In the implementation of Promise (PromiseImpl), we are using java.util.concurrent types from Java 5. But someone wishing to use the Promise impl in a pre-Java 5 environment can modify the implementation to use synchronized instead. -- BJ Hargrave Senior Technical Staff Member, IBM OSGi Fellow and CTO of the OSGi Alliance [email protected] office: +1 386 848 1781 mobile: +1 386 848 3788 From: Mike Wilson <[email protected]> To: "'OSGi Developer Mail List'" <[email protected]> Date: 2014/03/12 14:22 Subject: Re: [osgi-dev] asynchronous service calls and/or messaging Sent by: [email protected] Yes, will check the Github page. Do you have any outstanding changes that you will publish the next few days that could be worth waiting for? Btw, does this spec still target Java 1.4 for compatibility?

This I am not sure. I suspect it will be serialized. There is already RFC 203 which is updating Remote Service Admin. I am not sure how RFC 206 will influence Remote Services in the next spec release at this time. -- BJ Hargrave Senior Technical Staff Member, IBM OSGi Fellow and CTO of the OSGi Alliance [email protected] office: +1 386 848 1781 mobile: +1 386 848 3788 _______________________________________________ OSGi Developer Mail List [email protected] https://mail.osgi.org/mailman/listinfo/osgi-dev
